Alina's timely and surprisingly familiar intervention was just enough to pull Princess Monica back from the brink of her explosive rage.
The princess took a deep shuddering breath.
Her chest was rising and falling as she fought hard to regain her composure her self-control.
She shot one last venomous glare at Adam who was still sitting calmly. Then she turned to Alina.
"Let's go," she said her voice clipped and strained tight with anger. "I don't want to look at his arrogant face anymore."
With that Monica turned on her heel. She began to walk away from the front row.
Alina fell into step beside her. As they left Alina glanced back over her shoulder at Eric. She gave him a single worried look before she too disappeared from view following the angry princess.
Professor Margaret watched them go.
A thoughtful almost amused smile was playing on her lips. She then turned her gaze back to Adam who was still seated in his chair.
